It’s Monday What Are you Reading , hosted by Sheila, isthe perfect way
for me to
begin my week and allows me to
focus on what
needs to be read and to see what I
have or have not
accomplished the previous week.
I also enjoy
discovering new books by
visiting other participants
blogs.
Last week marked the end of the Spring Reading Thing hosted by Caterina at Callapidder Days and I was able to finish up the last two of the three books I had left. I ended up reading quite a lot during that challenge and got some books off my shelf that had been sitting there for a while.
This week is Audio Book Week and Jenn over at Devourer of Books has a great week planned, filled with discussion posts, links for audio book reviews and some really good giveaways. I’m planning on participating as much as I can and am hoping to get to some of my audio reviews this week. Will you be participating?

What
about you? What does your reading
week look like this
week? Whatever it is,
happy reading and have a good
week!
You've got some nice reads ahead of you. Enjoy them all.
Thanks…I'm looking forward to reading them all!
A great reading list! I know how it feels to be behind on reviews too. Going to work on that today.
Thanks! I feel as if I am always behind and I used to stress over it, but now I get to them when I get to them!
Home for the Summer by Mariah Stewart. Just started it and am awaiting to find out the secret in heroine's past; even tho' I have a good idea.
Just finished and loved Rachel Simon's The Story of a Beautiful Girl – highly recommend it.
I'm not familiar with either books – will have to check them out!
Your "need to review" list is as large as mine. Almost. 🙂 It's pretty intimidating isn't it?
It is, but I've learned to just live with it…I used to get so stressed about it, but realized it wasn't worth it. Quite a few of those on the list are audios, which I have been saving for Audio Book Week, which is this week, so hopefully they will all get posted at some point this week!
I loved The Last Queen. Gortner's writing is mesmerizing. I just started participating in this meme and I love how it keeps my reading organized. Thanks for visiting my blog!
Yes, I enjoy his writing, too! I'm looking forward to starting The Queen's Vow later this week!
I love this meme b/c it helps me keep track of my reviews that still need to be done!
Cool that Spring Reading Thing worked well for you. Looks like some good reading — have a great week!
I was glad to have gotten at least the 2 books done. I always seem to go into these things with a pre-determined list and then end up reading a ton of other books!
I read one of C.W. Gortner's novels and loved it. I'm looking forward to hearing more about this one.
Which one did you read? I've read 3 of his so far and have loved them all!
The Banana Split series sounds a lot like the Joanne Fluke series about the baker.
Have a great week!
I haven't read Joanne Fluke so I don't really know.
I Love audio books!
Hope you are enjoying the Temperance Brennan series. I have to catch up on the last two books.
Enjoy your week!
So far, the series is pretty good. I love the television show and that's how I ended up starting to read the books.
Love your lists! I am reminded of several I want to read, like more from Trigiani, Evanovich, and the new Mary Kay Andrews. I see you have Still Missing, too; hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
Thanks for visiting, and have a great week!
I'm really enjoying Still Missing – it's an intense story! The new Mary Kay Andrews book is good so far – she's a fun author!
